Answer
Hi again, Umar.

Like I stated in another post, hawks will always be around EXCEPT when there is plenty of other food around for them to eat besides your pigeons.  Every person who keeps pigeons has this same problem!

Yes, I stated in another post, you could build a fence cage front so your birds can go outside, but not get taken by a hawk.  I have a huge flight cage/aviary outside a window in my pigeon loft so my birds can go outside and sit in the sun/rain, but not get taken/eaten by a hawk.  Hawks still try to get at them, but the hawks can't get through the aviary cage wire to get to my birds.
